CBI Northern Ireland response to US International Trade Commission decision on Bombardier dispute.

CBI Northern Ireland has responded to the US International Trade Commission’s (ITC) unanimous verdict on the Bombardier dispute.

Angela McGowan, CBI Northern Ireland Director, commented:

“Bombardier is a hugely important company here in Northern Ireland and one that’s made an immense contribution to the local economy. It’s one of the biggest private sector employers in the region, with a supply chain that stretches across Northern Ireland. For those employed either directly or indirectly, this decision will be greeted with a sigh of relief.

“The case serves as an important reminder of the need to focus on enterprise, investment and skills to ensure Northern Ireland stakes its claim as a resilient, competitive place to do business in a rapidly changing global economy.”
